A zigzag model for laminated composite beams
نویسنده
چکیده
In the present work, a zigzag model for symmetric laminated beam is developed. This model uses a sine term to represent the nonlinear displacement field across the thickness as compared to a third order polynomial term in conventional theories. Transverse shear stress and strain are represented by a cosine term as compared to parabolic term. This model satisfies displacement and transverse shear stress continuity at the interface. Zero transverse shear stress boundary condition at the top and bottom of the beam are also satisfied. The numerical results indicates that the present model predicts very accurate results for displacement and stresses for symmetric cross-ply laminated beam, even for small length to thickness ratio. The results are also compared with a simplified theory of same class.

متن کاملA Quasi-3D Polynomial Shear and Normal Deformation Theory for Laminated Composite, Sandwich, and Functionally Graded Beams
Bending analyses of isotropic, functionally graded, laminated composite, and sandwich beams are carried out using a quasi-3D polynomial shear and normal deformation theory. The most important feature of the proposed theory is that it considers the effects of transverse shear and transverse normal deformations. It accounts for parabolic variations in the strain/stress produced by transverse shea...

Vibration of laminated composite and sandwich plate under thermal loading is studied in this paper. A refined higher order theory has been used for the purpose. In order to avoid stress oscillations observed in the implementation of a displacement based finite element, the stress field derived from temperature (initial strains) have been made consistent with total strain field. So far no study ...
